Christ Journey Church

What will heaven be like? Heaven will be like a new city, a new garden and a new home. Nothing impure is allowed. The happiness of heaven isn't being lazy forever. It’s the satisfaction of co-laboring with God in his work.

How would Jesus respond to abortion? It is so much more than political controversy. It literally is a matter of life and death.

As Christians, what is our responsibility, if any, to the environment, climate, nature, the wild, this planet, and beyond? Christians have the clearest mandate of all to lead the world on environmental issues. So let’s show our trust in the Lord by stewarding our plot of the garden well.

Join us today where guest speaker, Charlie Styles, from the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, unpacks what scripture has to say about our human nature and its origins.

Racism is a serious topic and it matters greatly today. What would Jesus do with racism? Would he be a target in today’s world? How do you approach the subject?

Is Christianity harmful? Is it dangerous? Jesus said, it can be. But before coming to the conclusion it all needs to be thrown out, maybe we should see if it’s being applied according to God’s directions.

New Years Day Message   “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenwards in Christ Jesus.” —PHILIPPIANS 3:13-14 NIV

God gives himself, the Perfect Present, after much time and thought. He loves you and wants you in a personal relationship with him as family. Is it time to receive God's perfect present? If you already know Christ, is it time to dig deeper into the gift and get closer to God?

Gifts are meant for giving. Can you think of a time when you couldn’t wait to give that perfect gift to your loved one because you just knew that they would love it? Do you recall how you felt? God gave his one and only Son for us as a perfect gift to save us here and now for the future hope of life together with our Heavenly Father.

Sometimes the way a gift is wrapped is part of the gift. Wrapping matters - and the same is especially true of the present God gave on that first Christmas. Jesus became God's perfect present as a fully human being. Yes, he was God the Son, but he never used his God power for himself.

What does it take to give the perfect present? Usually an exchange of something that cost someone in some way, shape, or form. God knew the value in giving us the gift of Himself - the truest answer to all we need and want.

What do you do to give the perfect present? It takes time and thought! God did the same thing when it came to giving that unspeakable, indescribable, too wonderful for words gift that first Christmas.

What's the key to a healthy and productive spiritual life? How can you thrive in a world of hate? There is an answer and it is within your reach!

Christ's first followers tell of one whose blood was shed for the nations, whose death would provide life and healing for all who believe. This is the central message of the New Testament. God’s love can transform suffering into generosity if you let him.

Trials and troubles can push you further away from God or push you closer to Him. It all depends on where you are standing – are you close to God or not?

When each of us show up with the gifts God gives, we'll see that we have everything we need - complete wholeness in the church body to do God's will. He gifts us so we each can make a meaningful contribution in life. Do you know your spiritual gifts that help you add value in life?

No one wants to be judged, blamed or shamed. We’d rather be loved, understood, respected and heard. But how do we receive God’s best from others when we are at our worst?

Chances are you have moments when you say, “People are the worst!” Human beings have a capacity to annoy, offend, and to get on each other's nerves! So what are we to do? The Book of Romans, chapter 12, has an answer – which could offend and annoy some because it's so contrary to the ways of the world.

When people show up with their worst, what do you do? In the second half of Romans 12, the Apostle Paul outlines a road map for how trusting Jesus can influence our best response to people when they show up with their worst.

Individuality is seen in its greatest strength in the way we are connected to each other. When connected, we find identity and community together. So it is the church. The body of Christ finds its true identity in community with every person connected in Christ. We share, we grow, and we do life together in Christ.

We can trust God to be good, but it all starts with belief in what the Bible tells us. Yet sometimes our human response to Christ's miraculous, transformative intervention in our lives is sometimes disbelief, if not flat out resistance.

If someone told you that one single ingredient could influence your quality of life in a positive and healthy way, what would you do to get it? We’re talking about what nobody wants, but everyone needs. Humility.

What if God has given human beings a way to experience change on the inside and it spills over to the outside? There’s more to life than being conformed to this world. You can be transformed. You can become more. You are meant for more.

This last message in our Life Mission 2.0 series shows us how Ancient Ephesus and modern Miami have much in common. Known as centers of learning, politics, entertainment and so much more, these two “cities on the edge” are also places where God wants to advance His Kingdom to make an eternal impact on a global impact!

Every one of us can invite God’s blessing to meet us in the marketplace faith of our lives – even if that place is full of troubles and temptations. Jesus can turn our troubles into triumphs as we trust him, so believers can take hope. Sometimes God will even use unbelieving officials in the midst of circumstances, conflict and trouble to do things that will advance the cause of His kingdom. &nbsp...
